Timeless Rites of Old 'Bethel Cult'
Come To Life on AutumnWeekend
For members of the "Bethel
cult", the 1967 rite of Homecom-ing
is certain to succeed in its at-tempts
to extract from their dei-ties
favoritism and good will for
the upcoming year.
Charged with coordinating all
the pageantry for the festival has,
been Doris Bucklew. Other high
authorities assisting in the plan-ning
are: Marcia Carlson, assistant
chairman; Faith Frykman, publici-ty;
Jim Conway, campus decora-tion;
Rich Runbeck, pep-fest/half-time,
Becky Bloom, tickets; Gary
Wilson, art; Pat Monson, banquet;
Linda Olson, coronation.
The weekend's schedule follows:
THURSDAY, OCT. 12-9:00 p.m.
With a roaring bonfire impart-ing
to every observer and partici-pant
sensitivity for the amgical
and the occult, chanters will be-gin
their supplications to the dei-ties
(Pepfest) asking for assurance
of a delivery from Forces of evil
on Saturday. T h e chanters,
strengthened by the many voices
of the observers, will carry their
cries to a peak inuendo.
Then, to the accompaniment of.
a dirge-like BEAT UMM, BEAT
UMM, chanters will deliver unto
the blaze a fabricated representa-tive
of the evil Force to render
him impotent. (Burning-in-effigy of
UMM player).
Tug-of-war preliminaries between
the cult's young men, to display to
the deities their great strength and
virility follow the bon-fest. Thurs-day's
nocturnal events will be cul-minated
with a torch-lighted par-ade
to a more densely forested ar-ea.
There, under aged oaks the
cultists will select for themselves
a maiden of singular purity and
grace, to serve as a gift of the
gods.
FRIDAY, OCT. 13—
With the dawn of Friday, a more
sober air overtakes the festival. A
past member of the cult will speak
and direct some inward reflection
within the present membership.
(Homecoming Chapel) Friday eve-ning
offers more for contempla-tion
with a presentation by the
Bethel Royal Players of "Man, '67."

Rev. Maurice (Duff) Wessman
has been chosen Alumnus of the
Year, an award given to one for-mer
student who has made an out-standing
contribution to the
Church. Each year, this award is
made at Homecoming when the
alumni reassemble at their Alma
Mater.
Last year this award went to
Emmanuel Carlson who is heading
up the Washington office of the
Baptist Joint Committee on Public
Affairs.
Pastor Wessman was reared in
a Christian home near Cokato,
Minn. He did not have an en-counter
with Christ, however„
until two years after high school.
Feeling the call for full-time
Christian service, he enrolled in ,
what was then, Bethel Junior
College. He graduated from
Bethel, went on to the Seminary,
and transferred to Augustana
College.
His pastorates have included the
First Baptist Church of Hillsdale,
Wisconsin; First Baptist Church,
Red Wing, Minn.; Central Baptist
Church of Sioux Falls, South Da-kota;
and Eagle Rock Baptist
Church, Los Angeles, California.
He was involved in a thorough-going
remodelling and building
program at Central Baptist in Sioux
Falls. He has served as Protestant
Chaplain of the South Dakota Peni-tentiary
for eighteen years. During
his ministry at the penitentiary, he
was instrumental in quelling a
riot, and led a number of the con-victs
to conversion.
Rev. Wessman has been chair-man
of several Conference
Boards, and served as modera-tor
of the Conference one year.
Due to ill health he was forced
to resign his pastorate at Eagle
Rock, and is presently residing in
Sioux Falls with his wife, Gerry,
and their two children, Mark, 16,
and Mary, 12.
In a brief telephone conversation
with the CLARION, Rev. Wessman
stated that he was very surprised
and greatly honored by this award.
He went on to say that the high-lights
of his ministry have been the
work in the prisons, his work in
the community as member of var-ious
social action groups, the Sioux
Falls Council of Social Agencies
which deals with welfare, proba-tion,
and numerous other social
agencies, and finally, the building

Sprucing up what has been one
of the moldiest Homecoming insti-tutions,
this year's Homecoming
Committee conceived of the bon-fest
to be held out on the Arden
Hills campus Thursday, at 9:00 p.m.
A combination of the bonfire and
the pep fest (it could just as well
have been called a pep fire) the
bon-fest includes everything from
cider and doughnuts to the intro-duction
of the 1967 Bethel Royal
Football Team.
Actually, the evening's shenani-gans
will begin with a snake dance
through the campus following
which the buses will leave for the
new campus sometime in the vic-inity
of 8:30 p.m. The bon-fest will
include the preliminaries of a tug-of-
war, the finals of which are to
be played off at the Homecoming
game. The victors of the Frosh,
Sophomore duel, and the Junior,
Senior brawl will compete for the
opportunity to take on a crew of
the alumni who are also spoiling
to get in the fun.
Following the cheers, introduc-tion
of the team, and the general
bonfire scene, there will be the
Torchlight Parade when the royalty
alight from their convertibles on
the crest of Coronation Hill where
the crowning will take place.
Providing the weather is incle-ment,
refreshments will be served
in the gym at the seminary after
the coronation is over.
`Highlight' of the evening, next
to the coronation, will be a burning
in effigy (a popular student inno-vation)
of the Cougar pigskin
squad.

Pcoe 2 the CLARION Wednesday. October 11, 1967 Peace Corps Joins With College
Offers Credit To Science Majors
The Peace Corps and the State
University College at Brockport
have announced completion of ar-rangements
to extend and expand
the unique Peace Corps / College
Degree training project launched
in the summer of 1967. The highly
favorable reaction to this summer's
pioneer venture sparked the deci-sion
to enlarge the program for
1968. It is the first program to
make Peace Corps training and
service an integral part of cur-ricula
leading to Bachelor's and
Master's degrees.
Candidates will be selected from
the ranks of students in good stand-ing
at an accredited college who
are completing their sophomore or
junior year by June 1968. Those
selected will be able to earn an
A.B. or B.S. degree and be eligible
for a Peace Corps assignment in
one academic year flanked by two
summers of fully subsidized and in-tegrated
academic courses and
Peace Corps training. They will be
expected to major in mathematics
or the sciences; those who have
completed their junior year prior
to entrance into the program will
have the opportunity for a double-major.
At the end of the second sum-mer
armed with the degree, a
teaching license, in-depth cross cul-tural
preparation and fluency in
Spanish, the graduates as Peace
Corps volunteers will be off on
their Latin American assignment.
As members of the staffs of teach-er

Purposee of Scholarship
One of the most interesting gripes muttered in the open-ing
weeks of the semester concerns elementary language
courses. "Beginning" language students have as much as three
years of background in the language they are studying, much
to the dismay, of the real beginners. For example, a show of
hands in Elementary French revealed that well over fifty per-cent
of the class had two or three years of French previously.
This disparity of backgrounds appears to be the norm for
first year language courses, and can be noted, to a lesser
extent, in other areas of study as well.
Obviously, the student with no previous background is
at somewhat of a disadvantage when he must compete with
those who have two or three years of the language already.
This, however, is merely, incidental to the real thrust of the
problem. The heart of the matter is not such that it can be
remedied by formulating rules which equalize competitive
footing for the student.
The real problem lies in the insipid attitude of students
(using the word loosely) who lack the ambition and con-scienciousness
to undertake the level of study commensurate
with their capabilities. Students are shirking the responsibility
their application implies when a quest for good grades and/or
the desire to fulfill requirements with as little effort as pos-sible
override the larger purposes of a liberal arts education.
Such an attitude is totally foreign to a genuine academic spirit.
Students who plan their studies with an unquenchable
thirst for the easy "ace" and a fierce desire to avoid the chal-lenge
of difficult courses are making a farce out of the ideas
behind the whole conception of education. This approach is
immature and shortsighted. Carried over into adult life, it is
not an attitude likely to make one a productive member of so-ciety
or a dedicated servant of God.
To be trite, we come to college to learn. Students should
have enough initiative and self-esteem to make a college edu-cation
a productive and challenging experience.

Political analysts continually
harp on the importance of China
and India on the Asian scene. To-gether
they account for almost
half of the total population of
the earth. Were it not for the
prevalence of illiteracy these two
countries' could probably be a ma-jor
power consideration in the
world balance of nations. As it is,
these two countries exert more
political influence than military,
and even what political weight
they have is slowly diminishing.
The Chinese are faced with a mael-,
strom of rampaging Red Guards,
a nightmare not only for the work-er,
but for the confused heirarchy
as well.
More quietly still, the Indian

well be that this slow death could
ring the death knell for democra-cy
in Asia.
India was born under the
shackles of British imperialism.
Its consciensness as a nation
was aroused under the heel of
colonialism. And in fact, identi-ty

It was a revelation of the vulner-ability
of modern conventional
means of warfare. After a long and
frustrating period of pursuing the
Viet Minh up and down the land
the French finally admitted that
they could 'not win politically or
militarily—took their losses, and
went home. The Agreement on the
Cessation of Hostilities was con-cluded
in Geneva in July of 1954.
It was an agreement between the
French and the Viet Minh. It
created both North and South Viet-nam
as temporary zones. It pro-vided
for withdrawal of French
forces from North Vietnam and a
free election at the end of two
years. The election would estab-,
lish a single government over both
North and South. It established an

solution of these problems is to
be honest with ourselves and with
one another. But the author goes
one step beyond Mowrer and states
that we must also confess our sin
and dishonesty to God.
In The Taste of New Wine, Mill-er
shows how this "new kind of
honesty" brought a change in his
Christian life. He recognized that
he had been dishonest with him-self.
He came to realize that the
churches were weak because the
members were not honest with
each other. He concluded that be-cause
of dishonesty, people en-countered
difficulties in their mar-riage
and business relationships,
their prayer lives, and their at-tempts
to evangelize. Miller then
challenges the reader to consider
his own weaknesses and dishonst
behavior, to ponder , his relation-ship
with God, and to reconsider
how he gets along with others.
This readable little volume has
been immensely popular with col-lege
students—and professors. The
author writes with sincerity and
with the honesty that he advocates.
His arguments "make sense" and
his examples are familiar to every-one.

New Seminary Complex Opens
Couples, Bachelors Make Nests
Ovrlooking Lake Valentine on
the Arden Hills Campus is the new
Seminary apartment complex. The
three buildings were completed in
early September and are now oc-cupied
by Seminary students and
their families.
Married students have a choice
of one or two bedrooms. These
apartments are furnished except
for the kitcen, which contains a
GE refrigerator-freezer, ductless
range hood, self-cleaning oven and
garbage disposal. Bathrooms are
ceramic tiled. All apartments are
air-conditioned and carpeted. Each
building has an incinerator. A laun-dry
room is on each floor, equip-ped
with washers and dryers.
Married students are paying
$105 per month for a one bedroom
apartment and $125 - $128 per
month for a two bedroom apart-ment.
These figures are compar-able
to the general rent figures in
the Twin Cities.
Twelve Seminary bachelors have
taken up residence in the Semi-rary's
new Apartment Complex
this fall. Occupying two two-bed-room
apartments in the complex's
overwhelmingly family - centered
environment, they may be thought
of either as seekers of reinforce-ment
for their bachelorhood sta-tus
or seekers of evidence that
married life "is the only way to
fly."
The arrangement is viewed as
extremely advantageous by the
married couples. What could be
more convenient than having eight
reliable singles so readily availa-ble
for babysitting?
Those who would like to tour
the new buildings may do so after
10 a.m. on Saturday, October 14. A

When he visited our campus last
year, Dr. 0. Hobart Mowrer — the
distinguished psychologist from
the University of Illinois — stated
that man's basic problem was sin.
Mental illnes, he suggested re-sults
from sin and the best form
of treatment is a change in beha-vior
accompanied by honest con-fession.
But Mowrer had no place
for God in his theory. We have
sinned against our fellow men, he
said, and we must confess to each
other in little groups.
Although not writing as a psy-chologist,
Keith Miller sounds
something like Mowrer. Man is a
sinner; self-centered and dishonest.
Even the modern church, Miller
writes, "is filled with many people
who look pure, sound pure . . .
(but) are inwardly sick of them-selves,
their weaknesses their frus-trations,
and the lack of reality
around them in the church." The

Ames, Ia.—(I.P.) — Fraternities
tend to be anti-intellectual, stereo-typed
and are dictated by sopho-mores,
according to a detailed re-port
of the Interfraternity Council
Big Eight Conference released tc
Iowa State University house presi-dents.
The Greek System emphasizes
scholarship by grades, not by
real learning, the report says.
"Too often we say come to our
group to meet people like your-self"
when they should be say-ing
"come to the Greek System
to meet people both like and
unlike yourself. There should be
a chance to promote a tolerance
of out-groups within a frater-nity."
The report states that the
"Greek System provides a fresh-man
with security—this is good.
However, often Greek freshmen
have a tendency to become too
confident. Complacency results and
a tendency not to realize problems
objectively prevails."
Fraternities, the report con-tinues,
continually ship older
men out of their houses. The
causes lie in inadequate housing
for all fraternity members, in-terest
in out-of-house activities,
being tired of house responsibil- ,
ity and structured schedule of
participation, more self-centered
interest rather than group-cen-tered,
and freedom gained by
living off-campus, the report stat-ed.
The report suggests possible so-lutions
such as programming for
more mature activity in houses—
above sophomore activity, using
juniors and seniors in prominent
positions, and upgrading sopho-more-
dictated activity to provide
programs of interest to seniors.
"Good Greeks are great—av-erage
Greeks are no better than
average anything. They are fall-ing
far short of their potentials"
the report continues. "Joe Aver-age
Greek has more faith in what
his pin will do for him than what
his house will."
Fraternities must program closer
to their ideas. They must do more
than build good executives and
hostesses. Fraternities should take
time to evaluate each year what
they are really doing with men
they pledge. They must ask them-selves,
"What 'do we really do for
our freshmen, sophomores and up-perclassmen?"

of Students, Tulane University,
stated:
Some say that like the United
States Navy, the two-party system,
and the Library of Congress, the
independent liberal arts colleges
are here to stay. They seem to
think that there will be enough
good students for both the univer-sities
and the colleges. Some say
that just as a great number of peo-ple
like to live in New York City
and other in Valdosta, Georgia,
good students for similar reasons
will gravitate to both the large
universities and to the small inde-pendent
colleges.
Some say that just as many
young people choose to affiliate
themselves with large industries
while others want to be with small
organizations, so, too, good stu-dents
will choose, some the univer-sities
and others the small colleges.
The assumption of plentitude lies
behind all such thinking. That is
to say, we have both colleges and
universities, together they fill up
our idea of higher education, which
would simply not be complete
without the independent liberal
arts colleges.
The facts of life are these. With
little state, federal, or foundation
support, with inadequate library
and laboratory facilities, with little
opportunity for the faculty to as-sociate
with other scholars in their
own fields, and without graduate
students, the isolated small colleges
have found it increasingly difficult
to attract and retain both qualified

faculty members and good stu-dents.
Who are the good students? They
are the students who face the fact
that we live in a rapidly changing
world and want to move fast and
keep abreast of the latest develop-ments.
They are the students who
are seeking excellence and are no
longer finding it in the indepen-dent
liberal arts colleges.
We are speaking, of course, in
general terms and to the topic
"good" students. Obviously, one ob-stacle
to generalization is the ex-treme
diversity of the independent
colleges as to size, endowments,
sexes, admitted, disciplines empha-sized,
and the quality of the man-agement.
It really couldn't b e
argued that Reed, Haverford and
Swarthmore do not have the means
to compete for good students with
much larger institutions and to
provide facilities for research.
From the student's point of view,
the one- and two-man departments
are a constant source of irritation.
And there are many of these. In a
recent government publication pre-pared
by the National Science
Foundation concerned with science
in higher education, the authors
express concern over the depart
ment staff sizes in the small col-leges.
Citing the findings of the Ameri-can
Institute of Physics and other
data, as of 1961, they state that
out of 551 small-college depart-ments
in colleges not granting the
doctor's degree in Physics but at-tempting
to offer physics-major
programs, 73 of the physics de-partments
were one-man depart-ments
and 157 were two-man de-partments—
a total of 230 (42 per
cent).
Not altogether incidentally, the
authors point out that many fac-ulty
members now teaching in the
colleges have inadequate training
"to cope with the higher level sub-ject-
matter now demanded in the
undergraduate program."
These authors also find evidence
"that some of the small colleges
are not supplying the kind of un-dergraduate
experience needed for
successful continuation in graduate
work — evidenced by dropout of
many graduates of small colleges
in their first year of graduate
work.
"More and more," they state,
"the belief is growing that the
dropout is due in large measure
to an emotional strain resulting
from the sudden realization, usu-ally
coming too late, that the stu-dent
has fallen far behind his
classmates, and has no hope of
catching up. The small college stu-dent
often discovers, with great
shock, the competition that exists
in large graduate classes—compe-tition
which he has never before
experienced."
The privacy of Bethel College
became even more apparent
throughout the nation in June
when Baptist General Conference
delegates rejected the principle of
federal grants for building pur-poses.
It was a decision, Dr. Carl Lund-quist
stated, that will call for the
utmost continued support by alum-ni,
churches, individuals and foun-dations
to make Bethel indeed a
private institution.
President Lundquist said, "In
light of the Conference decision,
Bethel plans to proceed with a vig-orous
program to enlist alumni, in-dividual,
corporate foundation, and
church support to make it indeed
a private institution of higher ed-ucation
in America today."
Delegates to the 88th annual
meeting of the Conference in Du-luth
(June 24-28) defeated a rec-ommendation
to approve federal
grants for college construction.
By a decisive vote of 619-324,
delegates brought to a close de-bate
on a question which has been
tabled twice at two previous an-nual
sessions.
The recommendation first came
before delegates and was tabled
for a year. In 1965, following
lengthy debate, it was again ta-bled
this time for two years in be-lief
that new legislation or a Su-preme
Court ruling would further
clarify the issues.
The decision was noted editor-ially
by both the daily and reli-gious
press commending delegates
for their courage.
In other actions, delegates re-affirmed
continuation of the col-lege
relocation program to a sec-tion
of the new campus in Arden
Hills. Delegates also authorized the
school administration to solicit per-sonal
gifts of $1,000 or more from
the Conference constituency 1967-
69 to help with relocation costs.
The seminary occupied new fa-cilities
on the Arden Hills campus
in 1965. With the chapel and stu-dent
center yet to be completed,
total costs for seminary relocation
are estimated at $3.5 million.
The college relocation program
is estimated at $10.5 million.
what houses are really doing and
what they tell the general public.
Yet, Greeks criticize the public
for their contempt.
Long-range planning committees
sould be established to determine
where a house is going, instead of
functioning from crisis to crisis.
The ISU system is at present
behind in programming pledge
education, according to the re-report.
Other schools have de-veloped
regulations concerning
pledge activity, control of pledge
skips through registration at IFC
offices, police committees made
up of fraternity representatives
for enforcing rules and a per-manent
pledge education officer
on administrative board.
At five of the campuses, presi-dents,
secretaries and business
managers of IFC were paid on a
monthly basis. It was felt that bet-ter
qualified officers were running
because of the change.

Keith Miller Writes Second Book
Searches For Total Christian Life
Keith Miller's Introduction to:
A Second Touch
This is a sequel to The Taste of New Wine. The areas of
life dealt with are different, and the over-all purpose is to ap-proach
certain problems of renewal in the Institutional Church
from a personal perspective. But in order to try to approach
institutional life from this direction, I find that I must first
try to describe, portray, and illustrate in detail the particular
perspective from which I am beginning to see the "Christian
life."
This is not a book for atheists. It is for those of you who
have tried to live your faith in God in the context of the Chris-tian
Church—but who have become frustrated, disheartened,
or anxious in your trying.
In my mind, as I write this, I am inviting you to come into
my inner life. As you look through my eyes with me at these
pages, I hope you will discover what I am beginning to discover
about living for Christ in the world and in the Church. In a
very real way I need for some of you to see what I am seeing.
I have felt alone in so many of my struggles to find meaning
and to be God's person that I find I am writing this to those of
you who also sometimes feel alone and discouraged as Chris-tians.
A Second Touch is not a substitute way which bypasses
the beginning commitment of the Christian life or the necessary
acquiring of habits of personal prayer, study of the scriptures,
and worship . . . as well as broadening studies of all kinds about
the world. I have assumed you know that I believe it to be a
continuing necessity to immerse one's self in these fundamental
disciplines. As a matter of fact, my past attempts to bypass or
dispense with these disciplines have invariably led to miserable
periods of emotional subjectivism. But I feel that, sooner or
later, the practice of Christian disciplines should contribute to
an over-all style of thinking through which God expands one s
total consciousness and pushes back the horizons of one's
"Christian life". And through this new awareness I believe
Christians may see all of life—including the Church—from a
new perspective
Not long ago I was reading the story of Jesus' healing of
the blind man—the way He touched his eyes and asked him,
"Can you see at all?' The man looked up and said
"I can see people. But they look like trees walking around. '
So Jesus touched his eyes a second time—and then he saw
men as Christ saw them. '

Modern Revolution Focuses Sharply
OnlyAmerican Alternative-Violence?
by Malcolm Avey
The Roman Catholic Church was
shocked out of its complacency
when Father Camilo Torres exort-ed
his parish to join guerrilla
forces working to overthrow the
Columbia government. He preach-ed
that "every Catholic who is not
a revolutionary and not on the
side of the revolutionaries, lives
in mortal sin". Until recently this
problem of violent action was not
a live issue in the United States.
True, extremists such as the Min-utemen
and the Communist Party
advocated theoretical acceptance
of such means, but Christians did
not have to come to grips with
such fringe idealogues. Watts,
Newark, Detroit, and Milwaukee
have given a shock to the indif-ference
of our nation, and hope-fully,
the Christian Church.
To understand Stokley Charmi-chael's
position, even if one is to
eventually repudiate it, the theory
of Revolution must be understood.
first in its broader scope, and then
specifically in its American con-text.
"One can not export revolution
like Cadillacs or Communism," Re-gis
Debray concludes after being
active in the Algerian and Cubar,
freedom movements. H. Rap
Brown. recently of headline fame
throughout America, wholeheart-edly
agrees. "Riots are caused by
conditions, not agitators." Frang
Fanon summarizes his experience
in Algeria by echoing this. Indeed,
most, if not all, uprisings of this
century have been just that—spon-taneous
reaction from below, not
injections from above.
Even a superficial study of Chi-na's
history shows Mao's success
to be derived from the people's
support, for whatsoever reason it
was given. Today the age-old rev-olutionary
dilemma of what com-prises
the vanguard of the revolu-tion
is at least partially solved.
The masses must be consciously
aware of exploitation and must
"recognize some movement as its
interpreter and guide" (Regis De-bray).
Any vanguard of violent ac-tion
must therefore conform to
certain prerequisites if it is to
hope for success. These are: 1)
Relate to a real exploitation (even
though this exists in the minds
of the masses apart from reality).
2) Be integrated with a people's
desire to improve their conditions,
(or as Arnold Haufmann puts it,
offer a Utopia that is desired by
the mass. It is at this point that
such movements as that of Burr
and the Narodniks failed.) 3) Be
the sole hope and voice for the
downtrodden. Lacking any of these
conditions, the movement will fal-ter.
Given the first two conditions,
how is the vanguard cadre to ob-tain
the support mentioned in con-dition
No. 3?
The Cuban struggle provided the
modern answer ,the one SNEC and
other Black Powerists are follow-ing:
Guerilla action (or as in
America, riots) fuse latent revolu-tionaries
into an integrated fight-ing
force. Battle homogenizes ideas
and jells individuals into parties.
Lenin, in 1922, wrote, "the civil
war has welded together the work-ing
class and the peasantry, and
this is the guarantee of an invinci-ble
strength. An interesting point
raised by the recent Life article
on Newark is that prior to the
riots the sniper's group was re-ceived
with hostility in the ghetto.
But after police retaliation the
community closed ranks and pro-tected
them.
A study by the University of Bo-gota
concludes "Violence has re-leased
a social process unforeseen
by the ruling classes. It has awa-kened
the peasants' consciousness;
it has given him group solidarity,
a feeling of superiority and a sure-ness
in action; it has opened up
possibilities for social improve-ment
and it hasinstitutionalized his
aggressiveness with the result that
Columbian peasants begin to pre-fer
the interests of the peasantry
to those of the traditional parties
. . . We can say that 'la violencia'
has constituted for Columbia the
most important socio - cultural
change in peasant areas since the
Spanish conquest." In conclusion,
violence is therefore the accepted
means to the formation of a social
action group.
Such is the theory of revolution
in broad outline. But how does
this apply to America and more
specifically the Civil Right's move-ment?
Such an application is com-plicated
by the wording of the
third prerequisite, "sole hope and
voice for the downtrodden." Sup-port
for militarists will never be
given if the same goals can be
achieved through less strenuous
means. If blacks feel voting and
nonviolence will give equality who
would risk his home (however
shabby) his job (however menial),
his family (however disjointed) or
his lfe (however oppressed)? As
Che Guevara writes, a guerilla rev-olution
is composed only of men
"with no other alternative but
death or victory, at moments when
death was a concept a thousand
times more real, and a victory a
myth that only a revolutionary can
dream of."
The fact that there are Black
Guerillas proves that at least some
men believe there is no other way
to victory. Rap Brown told Sol
Stern of Ramparts that the 1964
Democratic convention where 'lib-,
erals' such as H.H.H., refused to
recognize the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party, forced a re-eval-uation
of their confidence in Amer-ica.
After that jolt, men like Hum-phrey
became militarists. The Life
articles mentions that events of
1965 in Missssippi converted the
snipers in New Jersey. If present
conditions are allowed to continue,
more converts will be won to the
revolution of violence. Impatience
is marking the conclusion of the
100 years wait (since the Emanci-pation
Proclemation).
The guerilla action of last sum-mer
has proven that a reactionary
backlash can be provoked by sim-ple
violence. Such reaction can
have no other consequence than
the boosting of membership in
groups such as the Black Panthers.
1967 has therfore given a chal-lenge
to America in general and
the Christian community in parti-cular.
If a peaceful answer cannot
be found very quickly, Rap Brown's
answer will be the only one.

Bethel's Homecoming football opponent this year is the
University of Minnesota at Morris. Bethel has fared quite well
against the Cougars in their five previous encounters, winning
the first four tussles, before losing last year's game. Here's
how the record stands:
Date Bethel Morris
1962 21 19
1963 33 12
1964 33 6
1965 15 0
1966 14 33
Morris, under the direction of head coach Mike Simpson
and his assistants, Noel Olson, Bob Ahlbrecht, Dennis Hegle,
and Tom Bollman, is 2-0 so far this year.
Morris' second win this year was over Minot State 15-12.
A strong pass defense, coupled with the harding running of
Steve Chaon and the timely passing of quarterback John Nord-gaard,
proved instrumental in the victory.
Chaon, the elusive senior back from Braham, Minnesota,
carried the ball 15 times for 114 yards, an average of 7.6
yards per carry. In addition, he had a 77 yard touchdown
gallop called back because of a clipping penalty. The run
was 30 yards downfield before the infraction occured, so
Steve did get credit for the 30 yards he gained before the
penalty. Without that penalty, Chaon woul have gained 161
yards for the day.
Nordgaard completed 6 of 17 passes for 79 yards, includ-ing
a 14 yard touchdown strike to end, Dennis Boll. However,
the big play of the drive was a 36-yard screen pass to Chaon.
Morris' other scores came on a 4 yard run by Steve
Trites in the first quarter, and a safety in the final period.
Morris' defensive secondary, paced by linebackers Dave
Thielman and Bob Schmidt and halfbacks Mike Bah, Jerry
Mueller, and John Schamber, made a sizable contribution to
the victory as they batted down several passes that could have
gone for long gains had they been completed.
Finally, defensive tackle Joel Swanson's hard tackling
proved vital in several tense situations.
Over the years, Bethel has been very successful in its
Homecoming encounters, and its 1965 victory over Morris was
such an occasion. The team is aiming for a repeat performance
as it seeks to avenge last year's defeat.

Timeless Rites of Old 'Bethel Cult'
Come To Life on AutumnWeekend
For members of the "Bethel
cult", the 1967 rite of Homecom-ing
is certain to succeed in its at-tempts
to extract from their dei-ties
favoritism and good will for
the upcoming year.
Charged with coordinating all
the pageantry for the festival has,
been Doris Bucklew. Other high
authorities assisting in the plan-ning
are: Marcia Carlson, assistant
chairman; Faith Frykman, publici-ty;
Jim Conway, campus decora-tion;
Rich Runbeck, pep-fest/half-time,
Becky Bloom, tickets; Gary
Wilson, art; Pat Monson, banquet;
Linda Olson, coronation.
The weekend's schedule follows:
THURSDAY, OCT. 12-9:00 p.m.
With a roaring bonfire impart-ing
to every observer and partici-pant
sensitivity for the amgical
and the occult, chanters will be-gin
their supplications to the dei-ties
(Pepfest) asking for assurance
of a delivery from Forces of evil
on Saturday. T h e chanters,
strengthened by the many voices
of the observers, will carry their
cries to a peak inuendo.
Then, to the accompaniment of.
a dirge-like BEAT UMM, BEAT
UMM, chanters will deliver unto
the blaze a fabricated representa-tive
of the evil Force to render
him impotent. (Burning-in-effigy of
UMM player).
Tug-of-war preliminaries between
the cult's young men, to display to
the deities their great strength and
virility follow the bon-fest. Thurs-day's
nocturnal events will be cul-minated
with a torch-lighted par-ade
to a more densely forested ar-ea.
There, under aged oaks the
cultists will select for themselves
a maiden of singular purity and
grace, to serve as a gift of the
gods.
FRIDAY, OCT. 13—
With the dawn of Friday, a more

Rev. Maurice (Duff) Wessman
has been chosen Alumnus of the
Year, an award given to one for-mer
student who has made an out-standing
contribution to the
Church. Each year, this award is
made at Homecoming when the
alumni reassemble at their Alma
Mater.
Last year this award went to
Emmanuel Carlson who is heading
up the Washington office of the
Baptist Joint Committee on Public
Affairs.
Pastor Wessman was reared in
a Christian home near Cokato,
Minn. He did not have an en-counter
with Christ, however„
until two years after high school.
Feeling the call for full-time
Christian service, he enrolled in ,
what was then, Bethel Junior
College. He graduated from
Bethel, went on to the Seminary,
and transferred to Augustana
College.
His pastorates have included the
First Baptist Church of Hillsdale,
Wisconsin; First Baptist Church,
Red Wing, Minn.; Central Baptist
Church of Sioux Falls, South Da-kota;
and Eagle Rock Baptist
Church, Los Angeles, California.
He was involved in a thorough-going
remodelling and building
program at Central Baptist in Sioux
Falls. He has served as Protestant
Chaplain of the South Dakota Peni-tentiary
for eighteen years. During
his ministry at the penitentiary, he
was instrumental in quelling a
riot, and led a number of the con-victs
to conversion.
Rev. Wessman has been chair-man
of several Conference
Boards, and served as modera-tor
of the Conference one year.
Due to ill health he was forced
to resign his pastorate at Eagle
Rock, and is presently residing in
Sioux Falls with his wife, Gerry,
and their two children, Mark, 16,
and Mary, 12.
In a brief telephone conversation
with the CLARION, Rev. Wessman
stated that he was very surprised
and greatly honored by this award.
He went on to say that the high-lights
of his ministry have been the
work in the prisons, his work in
the community as member of var-ious
social action groups, the Sioux
Falls Council of Social Agencies
which deals with welfare, proba-tion,
and numerous other social
agencies, and finally, the building

Sprucing up what has been one
of the moldiest Homecoming insti-tutions,
this year's Homecoming
Committee conceived of the bon-fest
to be held out on the Arden
Hills campus Thursday, at 9:00 p.m.
A combination of the bonfire and
the pep fest (it could just as well
have been called a pep fire) the
bon-fest includes everything from
cider and doughnuts to the intro-duction
of the 1967 Bethel Royal
Football Team.
Actually, the evening's shenani-gans
will begin with a snake dance
through the campus following
which the buses will leave for the
new campus sometime in the vic-inity
of 8:30 p.m. The bon-fest will
include the preliminaries of a tug-of-
war, the finals of which are to
be played off at the Homecoming
game. The victors of the Frosh,
Sophomore duel, and the Junior,
Senior brawl will compete for the
opportunity to take on a crew of
the alumni who are also spoiling
to get in the fun.
Following the cheers, introduc-tion
of the team, and the general
bonfire scene, there will be the
Torchlight Parade when the royalty
alight from their convertibles on
the crest of Coronation Hill where
the crowning will take place.
Providing the weather is incle-ment,
refreshments will be served
in the gym at the seminary after
the coronation is over.
`Highlight' of the evening, next
to the coronation, will be a burning
in effigy (a popular student inno-vation)
of the Cougar pigskin
squad.

Pcoe 2 the CLARION Wednesday. October 11, 1967 Peace Corps Joins With College
Offers Credit To Science Majors
The Peace Corps and the State
University College at Brockport
have announced completion of ar-rangements
to extend and expand
the unique Peace Corps / College
Degree training project launched
in the summer of 1967. The highly
favorable reaction to this summer's
pioneer venture sparked the deci-sion
to enlarge the program for
1968. It is the first program to
make Peace Corps training and
service an integral part of cur-ricula
leading to Bachelor's and
Master's degrees.
Candidates will be selected from
the ranks of students in good stand-ing
at an accredited college who
are completing their sophomore or
junior year by June 1968. Those
selected will be able to earn an
A.B. or B.S. degree and be eligible
for a Peace Corps assignment in
one academic year flanked by two
summers of fully subsidized and in-tegrated
academic courses and
Peace Corps training. They will be
expected to major in mathematics
or the sciences; those who have
completed their junior year prior
to entrance into the program will
have the opportunity for a double-major.
At the end of the second sum-mer
armed with the degree, a
teaching license, in-depth cross cul-tural
preparation and fluency in
Spanish, the graduates as Peace
Corps volunteers will be off on
their Latin American assignment.

Enigmatic Leadership Slowly Fades

Purposee of Scholarship
One of the most interesting gripes muttered in the open-ing
weeks of the semester concerns elementary language
courses. "Beginning" language students have as much as three
years of background in the language they are studying, much
to the dismay, of the real beginners. For example, a show of
hands in Elementary French revealed that well over fifty per-cent
of the class had two or three years of French previously.
This disparity of backgrounds appears to be the norm for
first year language courses, and can be noted, to a lesser
extent, in other areas of study as well.
Obviously, the student with no previous background is
at somewhat of a disadvantage when he must compete with
those who have two or three years of the language already.
This, however, is merely, incidental to the real thrust of the
problem. The heart of the matter is not such that it can be
remedied by formulating rules which equalize competitive
footing for the student.
The real problem lies in the insipid attitude of students
(using the word loosely) who lack the ambition and con-scienciousness
to undertake the level of study commensurate
with their capabilities. Students are shirking the responsibility
their application implies when a quest for good grades and/or
the desire to fulfill requirements with as little effort as pos-sible
override the larger purposes of a liberal arts education.
Such an attitude is totally foreign to a genuine academic spirit.
Students who plan their studies with an unquenchable
thirst for the easy "ace" and a fierce desire to avoid the chal-lenge
of difficult courses are making a farce out of the ideas
behind the whole conception of education. This approach is
immature and shortsighted. Carried over into adult life, it is
not an attitude likely to make one a productive member of so-ciety
or a dedicated servant of God.
To be trite, we come to college to learn. Students should
have enough initiative and self-esteem to make a college edu-cation
a productive and challenging experience.

they account for almost

these two countries exert more

It was a revelation of the vulner-ability
of modern conventional
means of warfare. After a long and
frustrating period of pursuing the
Viet Minh up and down the land
the French finally admitted that
they could 'not win politically or
militarily—took their losses, and
went home. The Agreement on the
Cessation of Hostilities was con-cluded
in Geneva in July of 1954.
It was an agreement between the
French and the Viet Minh. It
created both North and South Viet-nam
as temporary zones. It pro-vided
for withdrawal of French
forces from North Vietnam and a
free election at the end of two
years. The election would estab-,
lish a single government over both

solution of these problems is to
be honest with ourselves and with
one another. But the author goes
one step beyond Mowrer and states
that we must also confess our sin
and dishonesty to God.
In The Taste of New Wine, Mill-er
shows how this "new kind of
honesty" brought a change in his
Christian life. He recognized that
he had been dishonest with him-self.
He came to realize that the
churches were weak because the
members were not honest with
each other. He concluded that be-cause
of dishonesty, people en-countered
difficulties in their mar-riage
and business relationships,
their prayer lives, and their at-tempts
to evangelize. Miller then
challenges the reader to consider
his own weaknesses and dishonst
behavior, to ponder , his relation-ship
with God, and to reconsider
how he gets along with others.
This readable little volume has
been immensely popular with col-lege
students—and professors. The
author writes with sincerity and
with the honesty that he advocates.
His arguments "make sense" and
his examples are familiar to every-one.

New Seminary Complex Opens
Couples, Bachelors Make Nests
Ovrlooking Lake Valentine on
the Arden Hills Campus is the new
Seminary apartment complex. The
three buildings were completed in
early September and are now oc-cupied
by Seminary students and
their families.
Married students have a choice
of one or two bedrooms. These
apartments are furnished except
for the kitcen, which contains a
GE refrigerator-freezer, ductless
range hood, self-cleaning oven and
garbage disposal. Bathrooms are
ceramic tiled. All apartments are
air-conditioned and carpeted. Each
building has an incinerator. A laun-dry
room is on each floor, equip-ped
with washers and dryers.
Married students are paying
$105 per month for a one bedroom
apartment and $125 - $128 per
month for a two bedroom apart-ment.
These figures are compar-able
to the general rent figures in
the Twin Cities.
Twelve Seminary bachelors have
taken up residence in the Semi-rary's
new Apartment Complex
this fall. Occupying two two-bed-room
apartments in the complex's
overwhelmingly family - centered
environment, they may be thought
of either as seekers of reinforce-ment
for their bachelorhood sta-tus
or seekers of evidence that
married life "is the only way to
fly."
The arrangement is viewed as
extremely advantageous by the
married couples. What could be
more convenient than having eight
reliable singles so readily availa-ble
for babysitting?
Those who would like to tour
the new buildings may do so after
10 a.m. on Saturday, October 14. A

When he visited our campus last
year, Dr. 0. Hobart Mowrer — the
distinguished psychologist from
the University of Illinois — stated
that man's basic problem was sin.
Mental illnes, he suggested re-sults
from sin and the best form
of treatment is a change in beha-vior
accompanied by honest con-fession.
But Mowrer had no place
for God in his theory. We have
sinned against our fellow men, he
said, and we must confess to each
other in little groups.
Although not writing as a psy-chologist,
Keith Miller sounds
something like Mowrer. Man is a
sinner; self-centered and dishonest.
Even the modern church, Miller
writes, "is filled with many people
who look pure, sound pure . . .
(but) are inwardly sick of them-selves,
their weaknesses their frus-trations,
and the lack of reality
around them in the church." The

Ames, Ia.—(I.P.) — Fraternities
tend to be anti-intellectual, stereo-typed
and are dictated by sopho-mores,
according to a detailed re-port
of the Interfraternity Council
Big Eight Conference released tc
Iowa State University house presi-dents.
The Greek System emphasizes
scholarship by grades, not by
real learning, the report says.
"Too often we say come to our
group to meet people like your-self"
when they should be say-ing
"come to the Greek System
to meet people both like and
unlike yourself. There should be
a chance to promote a tolerance
of out-groups within a frater-nity."
The report states that the
"Greek System provides a fresh-man
with security—this is good.
However, often Greek freshmen
have a tendency to become too
confident. Complacency results and
a tendency not to realize problems
objectively prevails."
Fraternities, the report con-tinues,
continually ship older
men out of their houses. The
causes lie in inadequate housing
for all fraternity members, in-terest
in out-of-house activities,
being tired of house responsibil- ,
ity and structured schedule of
participation, more self-centered
interest rather than group-cen-tered,
and freedom gained by
living off-campus, the report stat-ed.
The report suggests possible so-lutions
such as programming for
more mature activity in houses—
above sophomore activity, using
juniors and seniors in prominent
positions, and upgrading sopho-more-
dictated activity to provide
programs of interest to seniors.
"Good Greeks are great—av-erage
Greeks are no better than
average anything. They are fall-ing
far short of their potentials"
the report continues. "Joe Aver-age
Greek has more faith in what
his pin will do for him than what
his house will."
Fraternities must program closer
to their ideas. They must do more
than build good executives and
hostesses. Fraternities should take
time to evaluate each year what
they are really doing with men
they pledge. They must ask them-selves,
"What 'do we really do for
our freshmen, sophomores and up-perclassmen?"
The report feels there is a tre-mendous
credibility gap between

Spartanburg, S.C.—(I.P.)
In his position paper of the nega-tive
side, "Resolved That an In-dependent
Liberal Arts College
Can Attract and Retain Good Stu-dents,"
presented last spring at
the Converse College Trustees Con-ference,
Dr. John H. Stibbs, dean
of Students, Tulane University,
stated:
Some say that like the United
States Navy, the two-party system,
and the Library of Congress, the
independent liberal arts colleges
are here to stay. They seem to
think that there will be enough
good students for both the univer-sities
and the colleges. Some say
that just as a great number of peo-ple
like to live in New York City
and other in Valdosta, Georgia,
good students for similar reasons
will gravitate to both the large
universities and to the small inde-pendent
colleges.
Some say that just as many
young people choose to affiliate
themselves with large industries
while others want to be with small
organizations, so, too, good stu-dents
will choose, some the univer-sities
and others the small colleges.
The assumption of plentitude lies
behind all such thinking. That is
to say, we have both colleges and
universities, together they fill up
our idea of higher education, which
would simply not be complete
without the independent liberal
arts colleges.
The facts of life are these. With
little state, federal, or foundation
support, with inadequate library
and laboratory facilities, with little
opportunity for the faculty to as-sociate
with other scholars in their
own fields, and without graduate
students, the isolated small colleges
have found it increasingly difficult
to attract and retain both qualified

faculty members and good stu-dents.
Who are the good students? They
are the students who face the fact
that we live in a rapidly changing
world and want to move fast and
keep abreast of the latest develop-ments.
They are the students who
are seeking excellence and are no
longer finding it in the indepen-dent
liberal arts colleges.
We are speaking, of course, in
general terms and to the topic

argued that Reed, Haverford and
Swarthmore do not have the means
to compete for good students with
much larger institutions and to
provide facilities for research.
From the student's point of view,
the one- and two-man departments
are a constant source of irritation.
And there are many of these. In a
recent government publication pre-pared
by the National Science
Foundation concerned with science
in higher education, the authors
express concern over the depart
ment staff sizes in the small col-leges.
Citing the findings of the Ameri-can
Institute of Physics and other
data, as of 1961, they state that
out of 551 small-college depart-ments
in colleges not granting the
doctor's degree in Physics but at-tempting
to offer physics-major
programs, 73 of the physics de-partments
were one-man depart-ments
and 157 were two-man de-partments—
a total of 230 (42 per
cent).
Not altogether incidentally, the
authors point out that many fac-ulty
members now teaching in the
colleges have inadequate training
"to cope with the higher level sub-ject-
matter now demanded in the
undergraduate program."
These authors also find evidence
"that some of the small colleges
are not supplying the kind of un-dergraduate
experience needed for
successful continuation in graduate
work — evidenced by dropout of
many graduates of small colleges
in their first year of graduate
work.
"More and more," they state,
"the belief is growing that the
dropout is due in large measure
to an emotional strain resulting
from the sudden realization, usu-ally
coming too late, that the stu-dent
has fallen far behind his
classmates, and has no hope of
catching up. The small college stu-dent
often discovers, with great
shock, the competition that exists
in large graduate classes—compe-tition
which he has never before
experienced."
The privacy of Bethel College
became even more apparent
throughout the nation in June
when Baptist General Conference
delegates rejected the principle of
federal grants for building pur-poses.
It was a decision, Dr. Carl Lund-quist
stated, that will call for the
utmost continued support by alum-ni,
churches, individuals and foun-dations
to make Bethel indeed a
private institution.
President Lundquist said, "In
light of the Conference decision,
Bethel plans to proceed with a vig-orous
program to enlist alumni, in-dividual,
corporate foundation, and
church support to make it indeed
a private institution of higher ed-ucation
in America today."
Delegates to the 88th annual
meeting of the Conference in Du-luth
(June 24-28) defeated a rec-ommendation
to approve federal
grants for college construction.
By a decisive vote of 619-324,
delegates brought to a close de-bate
on a question which has been
tabled twice at two previous an-nual
sessions.
The recommendation first came
before delegates and was tabled
for a year. In 1965, following
lengthy debate, it was again ta-bled
this time for two years in be-lief
that new legislation or a Su-preme
Court ruling would further
clarify the issues.
The decision was noted editor-ially
by both the daily and reli-gious
press commending delegates
for their courage.
In other actions, delegates re-affirmed
continuation of the col-lege
relocation program to a sec-tion
of the new campus in Arden
Hills. Delegates also authorized the
school administration to solicit per-sonal
gifts of $1,000 or more from
the Conference constituency 1967-
69 to help with relocation costs.
The seminary occupied new fa-cilities
on the Arden Hills campus
in 1965. With the chapel and stu-dent
center yet to be completed,
total costs for seminary relocation
are estimated at $3.5 million.
The college relocation program
is estimated at $10.5 million.
what houses are really doing and
what they tell the general public.
Yet, Greeks criticize the public
for their contempt.
Long-range planning committees
sould be established to determine
where a house is going, instead of
functioning from crisis to crisis.
The ISU system is at present
behind in programming pledge
education, according to the re-report.
Other schools have de-veloped
regulations concerning
pledge activity, control of pledge
skips through registration at IFC
offices, police committees made
up of fraternity representatives
for enforcing rules and a per-manent
pledge education officer
on administrative board.
At five of the campuses, presi-dents,
secretaries and business
managers of IFC were paid on a
monthly basis. It was felt that bet-ter
qualified officers were running
because of the change.

Keith Miller Writes Second Book
Searches For Total Christian Life
Keith Miller's Introduction to:
A Second Touch
This is a sequel to The Taste of New Wine. The areas of
life dealt with are different, and the over-all purpose is to ap-proach
certain problems of renewal in the Institutional Church
from a personal perspective. But in order to try to approach
institutional life from this direction, I find that I must first
try to describe, portray, and illustrate in detail the particular
perspective from which I am beginning to see the "Christian
life."
This is not a book for atheists. It is for those of you who
have tried to live your faith in God in the context of the Chris-tian
Church—but who have become frustrated, disheartened,
or anxious in your trying.
In my mind, as I write this, I am inviting you to come into
my inner life. As you look through my eyes with me at these
pages, I hope you will discover what I am beginning to discover
about living for Christ in the world and in the Church. In a
very real way I need for some of you to see what I am seeing.
I have felt alone in so many of my struggles to find meaning
and to be God's person that I find I am writing this to those of
you who also sometimes feel alone and discouraged as Chris-tians.
A Second Touch is not a substitute way which bypasses
the beginning commitment of the Christian life or the necessary
acquiring of habits of personal prayer, study of the scriptures,
and worship . . . as well as broadening studies of all kinds about
the world. I have assumed you know that I believe it to be a
continuing necessity to immerse one's self in these fundamental
disciplines. As a matter of fact, my past attempts to bypass or
dispense with these disciplines have invariably led to miserable
periods of emotional subjectivism. But I feel that, sooner or
later, the practice of Christian disciplines should contribute to
an over-all style of thinking through which God expands one s
total consciousness and pushes back the horizons of one's
"Christian life". And through this new awareness I believe
Christians may see all of life—including the Church—from a
new perspective
Not long ago I was reading the story of Jesus' healing of
the blind man—the way He touched his eyes and asked him,
"Can you see at all?' The man looked up and said
"I can see people. But they look like trees walking around. '
So Jesus touched his eyes a second time—and then he saw
men as Christ saw them. '

Modern Revolution Focuses Sharply
OnlyAmerican Alternative-Violence?
by Malcolm Avey
The Roman Catholic Church was
shocked out of its complacency
when Father Camilo Torres exort-ed
his parish to join guerrilla
forces working to overthrow the
Columbia government. He preach-ed
that "every Catholic who is not
a revolutionary and not on the
side of the revolutionaries, lives
in mortal sin". Until recently this
problem of violent action was not
a live issue in the United States.
True, extremists such as the Min-utemen
and the Communist Party
advocated theoretical acceptance
of such means, but Christians did
not have to come to grips with
such fringe idealogues. Watts,
Newark, Detroit, and Milwaukee
have given a shock to the indif-ference
of our nation, and hope-fully,
the Christian Church.
To understand Stokley Charmi-chael's
position, even if one is to
eventually repudiate it, the theory
of Revolution must be understood.
first in its broader scope, and then
specifically in its American con-text.
"One can not export revolution
like Cadillacs or Communism," Re-gis
Debray concludes after being
active in the Algerian and Cubar,
freedom movements. H. Rap
Brown. recently of headline fame
throughout America, wholeheart-edly
agrees. "Riots are caused by
conditions, not agitators." Frang
Fanon summarizes his experience
in Algeria by echoing this. Indeed,
most, if not all, uprisings of this
century have been just that—spon-taneous
reaction from below, not
injections from above.
Even a superficial study of Chi-na's
history shows Mao's success
to be derived from the people's
support, for whatsoever reason it
was given. Today the age-old rev-olutionary
dilemma of what com-prises
the vanguard of the revolu-tion
is at least partially solved.
The masses must be consciously
aware of exploitation and must
"recognize some movement as its
interpreter and guide" (Regis De-bray).
Any vanguard of violent ac-tion
must therefore conform to
certain prerequisites if it is to
hope for success. These are: 1)
Relate to a real exploitation (even
though this exists in the minds
of the masses apart from reality).
2) Be integrated with a people's
desire to improve their conditions,
(or as Arnold Haufmann puts it,
offer a Utopia that is desired by
the mass. It is at this point that
such movements as that of Burr
and the Narodniks failed.) 3) Be
the sole hope and voice for the
downtrodden. Lacking any of these
conditions, the movement will fal-ter.
Given the first two conditions,
how is the vanguard cadre to ob-tain
the support mentioned in con-dition
No. 3?
The Cuban struggle provided the
modern answer ,the one SNEC and
other Black Powerists are follow-ing:
Guerilla action (or as in
America, riots) fuse latent revolu-tionaries
into an integrated fight-ing
force. Battle homogenizes ideas
and jells individuals into parties.
Lenin, in 1922, wrote, "the civil
war has welded together the work-ing
class and the peasantry, and
this is the guarantee of an invinci-ble
strength. An interesting point
raised by the recent Life article
on Newark is that prior to the
riots the sniper's group was re-ceived
with hostility in the ghetto.
But after police retaliation the
community closed ranks and pro-tected
them.
A study by the University of Bo-gota
concludes "Violence has re-leased
a social process unforeseen
by the ruling classes. It has awa-kened
the peasants' consciousness;
it has given him group solidarity,
a feeling of superiority and a sure-ness
in action; it has opened up
possibilities for social improve-ment
and it hasinstitutionalized his
aggressiveness with the result that
Columbian peasants begin to pre-fer
the interests of the peasantry
to those of the traditional parties
. . . We can say that 'la violencia'
has constituted for Columbia the
most important socio - cultural
change in peasant areas since the
Spanish conquest." In conclusion,
violence is therefore the accepted
means to the formation of a social
action group.
Such is the theory of revolution
in broad outline. But how does
this apply to America and more
specifically the Civil Right's move-ment?
Such an application is com-plicated
by the wording of the
third prerequisite, "sole hope and
voice for the downtrodden." Sup-port
for militarists will never be
given if the same goals can be
achieved through less strenuous
means. If blacks feel voting and
nonviolence will give equality who
would risk his home (however
shabby) his job (however menial),
his family (however disjointed) or
his lfe (however oppressed)? As
Che Guevara writes, a guerilla rev-olution
is composed only of men
"with no other alternative but
death or victory, at moments when
death was a concept a thousand
times more real, and a victory a
myth that only a revolutionary can
dream of."
The fact that there are Black
Guerillas proves that at least some
men believe there is no other way
to victory. Rap Brown told Sol
Stern of Ramparts that the 1964
Democratic convention where 'lib-,
erals' such as H.H.H., refused to
recognize the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party, forced a re-eval-uation
of their confidence in Amer-ica.
After that jolt, men like Hum-phrey
became militarists. The Life
articles mentions that events of
1965 in Missssippi converted the
snipers in New Jersey. If present
conditions are allowed to continue,
more converts will be won to the
revolution of violence. Impatience
is marking the conclusion of the
100 years wait (since the Emanci-pation
Proclemation).
The guerilla action of last sum-mer
has proven that a reactionary
backlash can be provoked by sim-ple
violence. Such reaction can
have no other consequence than
the boosting of membership in
groups such as the Black Panthers.
1967 has therfore given a chal-lenge
to America in general and
the Christian community in parti-cular.
If a peaceful answer cannot
be found very quickly, Rap Brown's
answer will be the only one.

head basketball coach Jack Tra-ger.
Besides interested freshmen,
Coach Trager expects about 15 up-perclassmen
to try out for the
team.
Six lettermen are returning, in-cluding
Jon Bjorklund, who missed
last season with a knee injury. If
his leg is sound, Bjorklund will
bolster the team's strength at
guard, crippled by graduation los-ses.
Other returning lettermen are
seniors Larry Johnson and Ray Pe-terson,
juniors Ron Pederson and
Dick Robertson, and sophomore
Tim Weko.
This season's schedule is tabbed
as one of the toughest in Bethel
history. MICA schools will provide
a large share of the opposition.
The team will also travel into Iowa
and South Dakota for several
games.

Bethel's Homecoming football opponent this year is the
University of Minnesota at Morris. Bethel has fared quite well
against the Cougars in their five previous encounters, winning
the first four tussles, before losing last year's game. Here's
how the record stands:
Date Bethel Morris
1962 21 19
1963 33 12
1964 33 6
1965 15 0
1966 14 33
Morris, under the direction of head coach Mike Simpson
and his assistants, Noel Olson, Bob Ahlbrecht, Dennis Hegle,
and Tom Bollman, is 2-0 so far this year.
Morris' second win this year was over Minot State 15-12.
A strong pass defense, coupled with the harding running of
Steve Chaon and the timely passing of quarterback John Nord-gaard,
proved instrumental in the victory.
Chaon, the elusive senior back from Braham, Minnesota,
carried the ball 15 times for 114 yards, an average of 7.6
yards per carry. In addition, he had a 77 yard touchdown
gallop called back because of a clipping penalty. The run
was 30 yards downfield before the infraction occured, so
Steve did get credit for the 30 yards he gained before the
penalty. Without that penalty, Chaon woul have gained 161
yards for the day.
Nordgaard completed 6 of 17 passes for 79 yards, includ-ing
a 14 yard touchdown strike to end, Dennis Boll. However,
the big play of the drive was a 36-yard screen pass to Chaon.
Morris' other scores came on a 4 yard run by Steve
Trites in the first quarter, and a safety in the final period.
Morris' defensive secondary, paced by linebackers Dave
Thielman and Bob Schmidt and halfbacks Mike Bah, Jerry
Mueller, and John Schamber, made a sizable contribution to
the victory as they batted down several passes that could have
gone for long gains had they been completed.
Finally, defensive tackle Joel Swanson's hard tackling
proved vital in several tense situations.
Over the years, Bethel has been very successful in its
Homecoming encounters, and its 1965 victory over Morris was
such an occasion. The team is aiming for a repeat performance
as it seeks to avenge last year's defeat.
